It is NEVER too early to start working on things for this fall!
Happy Halloween Cross Stitch ePatterns
After
I'd completed my machine knit patterns 3 years ago, I began getting
inquiries last fall about using those graphs for Cross Stitch. Well,
that wouldn't really work since knitting's gauge is longer than it is
wide and doesn't suit the squared stitch gauge of cross stitch.
So
I took my original graphics and imported them into HobbyWare's Pattern
Maker for Cross Stitch software. After much hair-pulling, I managed to
get the sizes of the Halloween graphs to suit my own needs.
If you do not have HobbyWare, they do have a 'try-it' download on their website. Just Google HobbyWare.

Electronic .pat Files via Download. These require the HobbyWare Cross Stitch Pattern Maker software to fully utilize them.
I
have ordinary graphs that don't require special software for all but
the 2 banners and the cute ghost ... those are still in the works and
would have to be 'cut up' into sections for stitch clarity. If you're interested in
the graphs rather than the .pat files, please let me know and I will
add you to the growing list to notify you when they're completed.
We also have this great collection for Machine Knitting! You can find that on our Etsy Store at: http://mkdesigner.etsy.com in the Holiday Patterns section.
Please
feel free to use the patterns for constructing craft items for sale at
craft shows or any other online venue. No mass
production, though. Please note my copyright below and contact me for
any clarification.
Please email me with any questions. We accept
PayPal, Money Orders & Checks. URL for download will be sent upon
receipt of cleared payment. All of these patterns / designs /
techniques are copyrighted to MKDesigner. I wrote / designed them, I
own them. Simple.
